My Stepbrother

Chapter Eleven

We entered the kitchen giggling due to Niall's childish and amusing act. This guy is any thing but real. He's too perfect to be.
I tried to reach the box of Microwave Popcorn that laid on the upper shelf, but I couldn't. I could feel Niall's arms around me reaching it, I felt warm and cozy, even for just a second.
"Here you go."
He said handing me it.
"Thanks."
I smiled blushing.
He didn't say a word, he just winked at me. That was enough to melt my heart like a damn butter in a 100 degree oven.
As I set the microwave I started getting cups and drinks to have along.
"Is that Liam's jacket?"
Asked Niall looking up and down at me.
"I don't know, are you checking me out?"
I blushed.
"Well, you can't throw me in an ocean and tell me not to get wet."
He smiled back.
"It is his."
I laughed.
"Why are you wearing it? I could've gave you mine."
Niall said with funny eyes and hand gestures.
"Well, it was freezing and Liam was gentle enough to pass me his jacket. I'm not gonna reject that to come ask for yours."
I said not looking at him standing behind me, although I felt like he was staring at me, and I kinda liked it.
"Did I tell you that you're pretty before?"
Niall asked.
"Only a couple of million times."
I joked.
"That's totally not fair to how beautiful you are, you deserve a billion compliment daily. That Tyler guy is so lucky to have you."
He smiled as he patted my shoulders.
And that was when I wished to die to have Niall's hands the last thing my body ever contacted, and his voice the last thing I've heard.
"Thank you.. honestly."
I smiled.
he smiled back, and we kept gazing into each other's eyes for about a minute, then the microwaves buzzing brought us back to reality.
"We should get back in there."
I said trying to stop talking. why am I so stupid? I mean, we should get back? Talk about being a 5 y/o with an ego of a peacock!
"Yeah, sure"
Said Niall grabbing the popcorn and following me with the bowl.
"It sure did take you a while."
Joked Louis.
"Dude, leave them alone. Let their small hearts beat together as one."
Laughed Harry.
"Whatever you say, I'd be more than glad to obey."
Louis said as he winked at Harry.
Harry soon got off the couch and approached Louis with wildly opened arms. This was a scene from heaven.
I sat on the couch with Niall, Zayn and Liam next to us, but Harry and Louis sat on the floor in front of us cuddling. I could see their legs crossed under the blanket, it was beautiful.
I started to feel sleepy really soon, I wasn't doing the Cliché 'I'm tired let me yawn and put my head on your shoulder' move. I actually used my own shoulder as a pillow but that hurt. Saving me from my misery again, Niall opened his mouth.
"Here, rest it on my shoulder."
Said Niall leaning downwards so I could reach him.
"No it's okay."
I smiled.
I've been close to him before, but this was the first time I actually felt butterflies in my stomach. I usually feel these butterflies, more like the whole insects kingdom in my stomach, when I see him, but this time it was different. This time I felt the butterflies I used to feel when I run into Tyler. That feeling of actually feeling that you have a crush on someone, not because he's your idol and hero, but because you don't know. And true love is that that's based on nothing but the feeling of being loved and in love, and I'm starting to feel that with Niall.
I couldn't help but rest my head on his shoulder, but then i moved it and slept with my head on his thighs. I could feel his breath through my skin, and his fingers going through my hair.
Normally I'd be upset with such action, As in, someone playing with my hair, especially if it were a person i don't know so well, but with Niall it just felt right. I guess the Heart knows what the heart knows and the Brain mistakes.
I felt my eyes closing and I couldn't resist. I was so tired. But I didn't want this to end. I wanted to feel his arms wrapping me forever. Whenever I get my conscious back and actually comprehend what's going on, I smile. And that's how I fell asleep. Sleeping on Niall's Lap, smiling as I smelled his outstanding scent. The butterflies in my stomach are there to stay.
I woke up the next morning in my place, but covered in a blanket. I looked around to see Niall in his place too, covered in a blanket as well. So were Harry, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. They all spent the night in their places.
"Morning."
I said as I looked up at Niall's eyes and getting up to lay at the front of his shoulder.
"Morning."
He smirked.
